This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States (as required by law) on February 17,
2009. Some older television receivers, if they rely on a TV antenna, will need a TV Converter to receive over the air digital programming, but should continue to work as before for other purposes (e.g., for watching low-power TV stations still broadcasting in analog, watching pre-recorded movies, or playing video games). When a Converter is used with an older television receiver, a signal splitter might be necessary to continue to receive low-power analog broadcasts via an antenna. For more information, please see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009. Please check with your cable or satellite service provider if you have questions about your cable or satellite set-top box.

WARNING/CAUTION
WARNING
Small parts can present choking hazard if accidentally swallowed. Keep small parts away from young children. discard unneeded small parts and other objects, including packaging materials and plastic bags/sheets to prevent them from being played with by young children, creating the potential risk of suffocation.
Set up
Do not place the Plasma TV on sloped or unstable surfaces.
The Plasma TV may fall off or tip over.
Do not place any objects on top of the Plasma TV.
If water spills onto the Plasma TV or foreign objects get
inside it, a short-circuit may occur which could result in fire or electric shock. If any foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, please consult an Authorized Service Center.
This Plasma TV is for use only with the following optional accessories. Use with any other type of optional accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.
(All of the following accessories are manufactured by Panasonic Corporation.)
• Wall-hanging bracket (Vertical) TY-WK42PV3U
• Wall-hanging bracket (Angled) TY-WK42PR3U TY-WK42PR4W
Always be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set-up.
Two or more people are required to install and remove the
television. If two people are not present, the television may be dropped, and personal injury may result.
Transport only in upright position!
Transporting the unit with its display panel facing upright or
downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
TY-WK42PV4W
AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 60 Hz. Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which
could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.
The included power cord is for use with this unit only. Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV.
Doing so may cause fire or electric shocks.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.
Do not make any modifications to, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cord. Doing so may cause damage to the power cord which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cord is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.
If problems occur during use
If a problem occurs (such as no picture or no sound), or if smoke or an abnormal odor is detected from the Plasma TV, unplug the power cord immediately.
Continued use of the TV under these conditions might cause
fire or permanent damage to the unit. Have the TV evaluated at an Authorized Service Center. Servicing of the TV by any unauthorized personnel is strongly discouraged due to its high voltage dangerous nature.
If water or foreign objects get inside the Plasma TV, if the Plasma TV is dropped, or if the cabinet becomes damaged, disconnect the power cord plug immediately.
A short may occur, which could cause fire. Contact an
Authorized Service Center for any repairs that need to be made.
Do not cover the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause the Plasma TV to overheat, which can
cause fire or damage to the Plasma TV.
Leave a space of 3 15/16” (10 cm) or more at the top, left and right, and 2 3/4” (7 cm) or more at the rear. When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the TV and the floor surface.
When using the Plasma TV
Be sure to disconnect all cables before moving the Plasma TV.
Moving the TV with its cables attached might damage the
cables which, in turn, can cause fire or electric shock.
Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet as a safety precaution before carrying out any cleaning.
Electric shocks can result if this is not done.
Clean the power cord plug regularly to prevent it from becoming dusty.
Built-up dust on the power cord plug can increase humidity
which might damage the insulation and cause fire. Unplug the cord from the wall outlet and clean it with a dry cloth.
This Plasma TV radiates infrared rays; therefore, it may affect other infrared communication equipment. Install your infrared sensor in a place away from direct or reflected light from your Plasma TV. Do not climb up onto the television or use it as a step. (Young children should be made particularly aware of this caution.)
If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse,
injury may result.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power cord is inserted into the wall outlet.
CAUTION
